Stunning and Sweet

Ellen was our Boulder guide, cheerleader, design consultant and florist. She designed arrangements I couldn't even imagine coming out as beautiful as they did. I wanted a bohemian, natural, green and Spring mountain landscape motif. I sent her some ChatGPT generated ideas with flowers that weren't even real flowers and she outdid every bit of it on the big day. She took us to coffee to nail in final design plans. She came over the day before the wedding to bring hair flowers and give us instructions on how to place them and keep everything fresh. She arrived early at our venue to set everything up so it would look perfect. She helped my little flower girls perfectly pin in their hair pieces. She found the most beautiful and creative little flowers and berries I'd never seen before to bring in exactly the colors I wanted. Amazing! The whole wedding was beautiful and sweet thanks to Ellen who I (obviously) highly recommend.

Ellen gave me peace of mind and confidence by suggesting the type of flower and colors etc. I could not have been more pleased with the product and pricing. Truly a professional who does NOT disappoint!

Ellen is amazing! There is a reason she doesn't have a single bad review on here - she is just that good.
We went in with a vague idea of what we wanted (sunflowers & wildflower feel) and she ran with with it. She did everything she could to not only stay within our flower budget, but help us with ideas to cut costs in other areas without losing our style. Before we met with her I was a little overwhelmed with planning, but she helped with some ideas and that's honestly when I really started to get excited about how the wedding would look. She is flexible and can make just about anything work, but she's also honest - if she doesn't think she is a good match for what you want (hard to imagine), she will say so and provide other resources to try. She is great at building personal relationships with her clients, too - I feel like she's as much our friend as our florist!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
